    How to fatten baby pigeons. Not squabs

    I don’t think it’s salmonella. They are in a very clean environment and when get the eggs I sanitize them to make sure no infection are transferred. But I’ve have been checking there dropping very carefully and checking for sudden weight loss and that doesn’t seem to be the issue. The issue is...

    How to fatten baby pigeons. Not squabs

    Hey guys. So I own some 4 day old pigeons. And they were abandoned several days before their hatch so I put them in my incubator and hatched them. I’ve done this many many many times before. For about 4 years, and in the past 2 years I’ve only lost about 3 or 4 to issues not involving nutrition...

    Pigeon Questions

    I use 50% protein. The higher the better. The parents crop milk is 65-70%. To low of protein and fat will cause a very very slow growth. Sorry I’m late btw

    Dove gender

    You can also look at the vents. Females have larger and wider vents than males. Male vents tend to be rounder while females vents tend to be more horizontal. Take a full body picture from different angles if you can. Your best bet is probably going to be on its eyes though. The message above on...

    Dove gender

    Pick up your pigeon/dove and look at it’s tail feathers. If it sticks out straight it’s most likely a male. If it curves up it’s a female See how the feathers stick out.

    Yeah he is a very big pigeon! They never sit on their eggs. They always lay eggs but they never sit on them so I started incubating them and so far I’ve gotten 2 out of 4 to hatch but they look nothing like pops. Hopefully they lay soon and i get a monster. He also keeps trying to mate with my...

    ISO Pigeon eggs

    Yeah I have quite a bit of different breeds. People that didn’t want birds anymore would come to me and I just started getting a bunch of random birds. It’s made it very difficult for me to fly them like I used to. But do you know what that big pigeon is? No one seems to know what he is. I’ve...

    ISO Pigeon eggs

    That’s what I do. The bottle/balloon is the best method I feel because it makes them a little more independent during feeding. I don’t recommend shoving syringes down chicks throats because they might aspirate. I’ve raised about 25 by hand and it took about 8 or 9 very stressful and unfortunate...

    These are mine. Some of them are at my uncles house for training since we have too many hawks here and it not the right area for training. We have a smaller backyard as well. I have this other pigeon that’s HUGE but I have no idea what he is. I think he is a hybrid king. The last one is my...

    Well you don’t really need syringes, you can get pippets for stores like Walmart and do it that way. Syringes can culture bacteria so I try to stay as sanitary as possible. You can also get some balloons and put the balloon over a pill bottle and stick their beaks in and allow them to eat them...
